Roy Williams is not happy that his North Carolina Tar Heels received a No. 8 seed in this year’s NCAA tournament.

Speaking to Tar Heels athletics boosters in Durham on Tuesday night, Williams said the seeding wasn’t good enough, saying that his team’s RPI was better than eight teams (actually 11) receiving better seeds and that UNC had the eighth-toughest schedule in the nation, The (Durham) Herald-Sun reported.

UNC lost to top-seeded Kansas, Williams’ former employer, in the round of 32. Anyone looking at the bracket before the tournament started surmised that the selection committee purposely did it to set up a possible rematch. North Carolina also lost to Kansas in the 2012 NCAA Tournament Midwest Region final.

“It was stupid, flat-out,” Williams said. “I’ve got no problem telling (the committee). They don’t sign my paycheck or anything. I told them I thought it was stupid.

“I’ve been a head coach for 25 years, and that’s the first time you’ve ever heard Roy Williams complain because I do realize the job is so hard, but I’m tired of that junk.”

We’ll know if Williams’ words have been heeded if UNC and Kansas aren’t placed in the same NCAA Tournament bracket next year. Or maybe, Williams can land Andrew Wiggins and won’t even have to worry about playing too tough an opponent too early, because his team might be better than everyone else’s.

And for the record, the teams with better seeds but with a lower RPI than North Carolina were No. 4 Kansas State, all four No. 5 seeds (Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, UNLV and VCU), two No. 6 seeds (UCLA and Butler) and all four No. 7 seeds (San Diego State, Notre Dame, Creighton and Illinois).
